The first day of military training, ten o'clock at night.
After a long day of exhaustion, the students should have been sound asleep.
Yet, the military training base was ablaze with lights, and a crowd gathered outside the girls' dormitory.
Rumors spread fast and wildly.
Some claimed there was a murderer in the dormitory, others said three girls had died, and some even suggested the entire dormitory was wiped out.
Each version was more horrifying than the last.
Cheng Huai instructed the other instructors to maintain order outside the dormitory, while he entered alone to assess the three girls on the floor.
They were all still alive, though Cui Xian's pulse was the faintest.
An ambulance had already been called, but Cheng Huai held back from reporting to the police.
He understood the gravity of the situation too well.
Once the police were involved, the truth would become far harder to discern.
